Intro:
FM9 Am7 G
Verse 1:
FM9
I drive out to the edge of town
Am7
I turn the engine off and watch the water
FM9
Here the river's wide and deep
Am7
All that water, running on and onwards
FM9
I keep having the same dream
Where I let that current carry me
Am7 G
Far away from everything I know
FM9
I just think about that feeling
G
Until I turn the engine on and I drive home
Chorus:
C Em
Cause you wouldn't believe
F G
How much time you can waste
C Am
Trying to leave
F G
If it's easier to stay
Am Em
They say a watched pot never boils
F G
Boy, I never even lit the flame
C Em
You wouldn't believe
F G
How much time you can waste
Am G
Waiting for someday
Verse 2:
FM9
But time is like that river too
Am7
Winding on it's one year then another
FM9
It fills your mouth full of excuses
Am7
Tells you that you're happy with your lot here
FM9
Now I'm standing in my kitchen
Staring out the window
Am7 G
Watching sparrows catching tiny butterflies
FM9
Trying hard to listen to the voice down in my heart
G
The only one that still knows when I'm lying
Chorus:
C Em
Cause you wouldn't believe
F G
How much time you can waste
C Am
Trying to leave
F G
If it's easier to stay
Am Em
They say a watched pot never boils
F G
Boy, I never even lit the flame
C Em
You wouldn't believe
F G
How much time you can waste
